I have a store manager that basically 95% of the store hates. She knows nothing of her job and sits in her office talking most of the day. She bitches at employees in front of customers. Lies all the time and refuses to be wrong ever. Since she has been here. We had two co managers quite and now a deli manager. Almost had a third co quit but she decided to stay. She knows nothing of the job. One time she asked if a grocery truck was back stock lol. Does anybody know how I could get her moved out?
If incompetence was grounds for termination managers would actually do their jobs. Sooner or later she will get transferred, unless she has been transferred so many times they've given up on her.
I would start an anonymous email campaign. Email as many people as you can join yodel to find them. Message them on anonymously on facebook, get others to join. Maybe ask for a transfer. Anonymously email this store manager and tell her to straighten up or the whole store will tell your boss up to and including Mr. McMullen what a poor job is being done at the store.
Your only hope is to document what she does in depth and then both mail and email a copy to as many high ups as Kroger as possible, as well as HR. Do this anonymously and you can also send it to journalists, and they will put a lot of pressure on Kroger to fire both her and the DM.
you basically can't. they got all the power. you are just a pile of sh*t in the Kroger kingdom. hate to be so blunt about it- but its the truth!
Amen, especially if you are a courtesy clerk. Kroger is about making a lot of money in the shortest amount of time possible using the least amount of labor possible. My schedule has dropped from 16 hours to 14 hours because we just brought up some new courtesy clerks and they are getting some time in the trenches. But I gotta tell you, if my @#$! schedule drops any lower I am going to have to put two weeks in, I lose around $20-$25 for taxes, fica all that crap and $7 for union, I don't work for $70-$80 a week, especially for what is demanded of us as courtesy clerks.

If you're only working 14-16 hours thats barely two days a week. I suspect you work a bunch of 4 hour shift, but still. Move up to being a checker or another department and get back to me about demand.

In the 3 stores I've worked at, baggers get up to 30 hours while checkers almost never get more than 20.

I am not making fun of you.
Don't offer to put in a 2 weeks unless you feel you need to. Just go after you line up a new gig. For every complainer that quits, Kroger will hire 4 more to replace them just to prove that krogernomics is right.
I am part time and they are unable to retain employees in my department so my hours have been steady high the last 2 years. I worked a lot of 28-34 hour weeks before then. I am the only part timer that has stuck around 6+ years making top pay and getting decent hours.

Good luck.
If that's what works for you, then good. But some people can't pay bills with 26 hours at $7.25 an hour. Especially if they are in a union-mandated state where you lose another $8 a week for a losing cause. Kroger, Walmart, and Target are not the problem. Retail is.

I agree. I too started at $7.35 with union dues and outlasted everyone else. I made side jobs to make extra money on my own. I always think CCs are high school kids but am wrong in assumming that. The only way to make somewhat of a living is to move to other departments or get some real education. I thought my contract tier was crappy. With our newest contract, the newer hirees are sol moneywise.

Around here they don't get much more than 20 and if they do, managers will hire with quickness. Sometimes they get that much during the summer or holidays, but not for more than a week or two.
